• How to find the product key to 25 characters on windows 8

  My computer has been updated and I have to reactivate everything, including Microsoft office. When I bought my computer, it came with already installed in my computer. Now, he asks me the product key, which I did not. How to access my product key 25 character on my laptop?

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  If you are looking for the product key for Microsoft Office, you can buy one if a copy of test supplied with your computer.

  Windows 8 came pre-installed on a hp Tower pre-built, am now upgrading my computer (new Mobo, Cpu, Gpu, cases, etc.) and guard my drive hard, how can I keep windows? or I have to buy a new product key?

  Hello

   
  Please contact Microsoft Community.
   
  The problem description, I understand that you want to upgrade the hardware and need to confirm how can you keep your operating system.
   
  In this case, I want to tell you that you want to keep your drive hard if you do not have to reinstall the operating system and that you upgrade the motherboard too and in the OEM version product key is integrated motherboard, so in this case, you may need contact system manufacturing to re activate your product key.
   
  For reference, please see:
